Leaving care (Local Offer for Care Leavers)
Positive activities
We know that doing things that interested you, trying new things and feeling good at a special talent can make you feel happier and more confident.
That's why we want to offer different ways to support you to do positive activities. Our help includes:
Care leavers' celebration event
We hold a care leavers' celebration event in October.
Events and activities
Recent activities at the MarketPlace have included informal drop-ins, pizza and pamper night, movie night, Sunday lunches and themed groups.
Care Leavers' Council
The Care Leavers Council meets once a month. It is for young people aged 16 years and over who strive to make changes and improve services for care leavers in South Tyneside.
Celebration events
We are really proud of everything our young people achieve and we want to take opportunities to remind you of this on a regular basis. We also think it is important to mark successes and achievements in a more formal way. Celebration events can vary, from private and low-key, to a bigger celebration event.
Financial support
There is a range of financial support to help you to take part in positive activities.
